B-LOC Compression Hubs

B-LOC Compression Hubs are external locking devices that provide a unique method for mounting components without the need for a hub. This is accomplished by utilizing axial compression to hold the mounted component in place, while simultaneously using radial pressure to generate an interference fit with the shaft. This is ideal for mounting narrow components to a shaft like flat chain sprockets or mounting components that cannot be subjected to tensile (hoop) stresses.
